MGK has raised one cool kid — just ask Pete Davidson!
While chatting about his own upcoming fatherhood journey, the Saturday Night Live alum opened up to PEOPLE about what he’s learned from his friend and father of two, MGK (born Colson Baker and formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly), about what to expect.
“The best advice I’ve heard him say is that you’re the first person in the kid’s life so they will always love you,” Davidson, 32, told PEOPLE in a recent sit down about his partnership with eBay. “It’s like this love that you’ll never feel ever again… And I’m just really excited for that moment.”
After years of friendship, Davidson says seeing the 35-year-old musician, who shares Casie Colson Baker, 16, with ex Emma Cannon and Saga Blade Fox-Baker, 8 months, with his former fiancée, Megan Fox, interact with his kids has shown him a new side of his friend.

“I know him in so many different facets,” Davidson said. “I’ve seen him be super gangster, super funny, and then see him just be this really sensitive, just sweet, sweet guy.”
Earlier this year, the comedian spent some time with MGK and Casie at the the Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards where the comedian presented his friend with the Style Icon Award.

“Colson is, I think, my oldest best friend in this tough biz,” Davidson said from behind the podium. “Pound for pound, I think he’s maybe the most talented person I have ever met. He can rap, he can play guitar, he can rock, he can act.”
For the big night, MGK was accompanied by his teenage daughter who Davidson told PEOPLE in November is “cooler than all of us.”

“She really is,” he continued. “She’s so cool. Doesn’t give a s— about any of this sort of stuff. And just loves her dad and is great in school, and she’s got her driver’s license. Yeah, he did a great job with that one and he’s doing a great job with his new one, so I just hope I could do what he’s doing.”
Ahead of the arrival of his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, Davidson partnered with eBay to help create the ultimate “dad van.”
In addition to the decked out Honda Odyssey for himself, builder Tony Angelo also created a second vehicle to be auctioned off to raise money for Answer the Call — a nonprofit that helps families of fallen New York City first responders. eBay will match the winning bid up to $50,000. That auction is open from now until Friday, Dec. 19.
